Abstract: An improved method of high accuracy beam placement for local area navigation in the field of semiconductor chip manufacturing. Preferred embodiments of the present invention can also be used to rapidly navigate to one single bit cell in a memory array or similar structure, for example to characterize or correct a defect in that individual bit cell. High-resolution scanning is used to scan only a “strip” of cells on the one edge of the array (along either the X axis and the Y axis) to locate a row containing the desired cell followed by a similar high-speed scan along the located row (in the remaining direction) until the desired cell location is reached. This allows pattern-recognition tools to be used to automatically “count” the cells necessary to navigate to the desired cell, without the large expenditure of time required to image the entire array.

Abstract: Methods and systems for generating labeled images from a microscope detector by leveraging detector data from a different microscope detector of a different modality include applying a focused charged beam to a sample, using a first microscope detector to detect emissions resultant from the focused charged beam being incident on the sample, and then using detector data from the first microscope detector to automatically generate a first labeled image. Automatically generating the first labeled image includes determining composition information about portions of the sample based on the detector data, and then automatically labeling regions of the first image associated with the portions of the sample with corresponding composition information. A second image of the sample is generated using detector data from a second microscope detector system of a different modality, and then the first labeled image is used to automatically label regions of the second image with corresponding composition information.

Abstract: Multiple reference fiducials are formed on a sample on a sample for charged particle beam facilities processing of the sample. As one fiducial is degraded by the charged particle beam, a second fiducial is used to create one or more additional fiducials.
